2007 Ford Taurus Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to properly prime the brake master cylinder using DOT 3 brake fluid on 2007 Ford Taurus?

  A: People must use only DOT 3 brake fluid when priming the brake master cylinder since other fluids will permanently damage brake systems until they become inoperable, which creates a safety risk for users. Any spills of brake fluid require immediate cleaning with water because the substance corrupts painted and plastic materials. The brake master cylinder must stay wet during the bleeding process with the correct brake fluid supply in the reservoir while discarding drained fluid. The hydraulic system requires bleeding since air entered after any disconnecting process. When performing in-vehicle priming, you should disconnect the brake lines from the brake master cylinder. Place the brake master cylinder into a vise while connecting short brake tubes that form a reservoir shape and add DOT 3 brake fluid. The primary piston should be pressed slowly by an assistant who will pump the brake pedal while both tubes dispense clean fluid with no bubbles present. Bench prime operations require installing the brake master cylinder inside the vehicle after discarding short tubes and using outlet tubes that should be tightened up to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). To perform bleeding at the outlet tubes, you must refill your reservoir until full while your assistant keeps the brake pedal held down. After loosening each tube one by one, you must tighten them before moving on to the next until all bubbles disappear from the fluid stream. Bleeding the entire brake system comes as the final step.
